Typically in a multi-panel control system setup there is a ground bar in each panel.   The incoming AC power ground is tied to this and the 24 volt power supply negative is tied to the local ground bar just as I described before.  If all of these panels are on a common machine frame, the

So what happens when the equipment with the 24V supply is 30m long in multiple steel frames? There would be a bonding wire from frame to frame since you wouldn't want to bond one end to one AC ground outlet and the other end to a different AC ground outlet. What if you have 30A, 24V supplies

Agreed, I have never seen a high voltage DC drive bus leg connected to ground.  That could cause all kinds of problems! Dave On 7/12/2018 5:31 PM, andy pugh wrote: On 12 July 2018 at 20:12, John Dammeyer wrote: Is it standard practice to connect the DC Servo and DC Instrumentation Bus to

I think you need to define what you mean by "grounding". If you have a 24 volt DC powered control system, like an industrial control panel, typically the 24 volt DC power supply/s will tie the 0V terminal on the power supply to frame/panel ground.   These are the big 10, 20, 40 amp 24 volt DC

HI Dave, The problem comes in when some devices ground the DC to the frame internally. I don't see an issue with grounding the DC bus bar to earth ground at one point. I'm just looking at "standard practices" which all suggest no connection or at only one spot. Thanks John > -Original

I think I done a poor job of explaining my question, although I believe Andy Pugh got it. I created a video demonstrating what I mean, although not the great. Was wondering if someone would correct my mis-information or confirm what I think to be true. If I am correct, can we get it changed in

Thanks, I'm not concerned about the AC ground side of things. Internet searches on this subject generally seem to agree that DC ground doesn't and shouldn't be connected to the metal frame earth ground at any point. If it is either through a capacitor or a 100 ohm resistor. I remember many

Normally, a single ground point is established in the cabinet and all of the grounds tie to that one point. The same point is also tied power line ground. The multi hole bus bars they sell for use in a AC power breaker boxes work well for this. Every big box home store will have a selection
